Daring Drama Awaits with *Wozzeck*!

Kicking off the spring season is *Wozzeck*, an innovative opera composed by Alban Berg running from April 25 to May 16. This production transcends traditional opera, merging it with striking art installations featuring film, animation, and puppetry to tell a chilling tale rooted in post-war trauma.

Follow the tortured soldier Wozzeck as he spirals into madness, murder, and despair upon discovering that his partner, Marie, has taken up with the alluring Drum Major—an emotional rollercoaster that will leave you breathless.

Returning Classic: *Eugene Onegin*

Next up is the much-anticipated *Eugene Onegin* by the beloved composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, making a grand return after its last appearance in 2018. This timeless tale unravels the complexities of love and regret, centered on the aristocrat Onegin who cruelly dismisses heartfelt advances from Tatyana, a sincere young woman from the countryside.

Years later, their paths cross again, but the dynamics have changed, leaving Onegin with a heavy heart of remorse. Featuring an enchanting yet minimalist set, the production is heightened by the opulent costumes that reflect the elegance of the 1860s, showcasing a beautiful contrast.

Dress as You Please!

Worried about what to wear? Fear not! The COC embraces everyone—whether you choose to sport your favorite jeans and hoodie or don your finest formal attire, you're welcome to come as you are and enjoy the magic of opera.
